The expansion of anthropogenic activities drives changes in the composition, structure, and spatial configuration natural landscapes, influencing both taxonomic functional diversity bird communities. This pattern is evident Colombian Amazon, where agricultural livestock has altered ecological dynamics, avifaunal assemblages, provision regulating ecosystem services. study analyzed influence agroforestry (cocoa-based systems—SAFc) silvopastoral systems (SSP) on birds their potential impact services eight productive landscape mosaics within Amazon. Each mosaic consisted a 1 km2 grid, which seven types vegetation cover were classified, metrics calculated. Bird communities surveyed through visual observations mist-net captures, during traits measured. Additionally, guilds assigned to each species based literature review. Five multidimensional indices computed, along with community-weighted means per guild. A total 218 recorded across land-use systems. richness, abundance, diversity—as well as composition guilds—varied according cover. Functional increased containing closed patches symmetrical configurations. Variations linked low redundancy, may also lead differences such biological pest control seed dispersal—both are critical for regeneration connectivity rural landscapes. In conclusion, contributes resilience landscapes Amazonian systems, highlighting need management that promotes structural heterogeneity sustain connectivity.
